About Me
Raunak Group is a legacy real estate developer with over 45 years of experience (founded in 1980), primarily known for its massive footprint in Thane and Kalyan. They have successfully delivered over 8,200 homes and 35+ projects, positioning themselves as a mid-segment powerhouse that focuses on “Lifestyle Townships” for the working professional.

🏙️ Strategic Hubs: Thane & Kalyan
Raunak’s strength lies in their massive land banks in two specific micro-markets:
- The “Kasarvadavali” Dominance (Thane): They are one of the largest developers on Ghodbunder Road. Their “Unnathi Woods” and “Raunak Bliss” series have created a mini-suburb within Thane.
- Kalyan West (Raunak City): They are arguably the most influential developer in Kalyan West. Raunak City is a sprawling 35-acre township that has redefined property values in the Kalyan-Murbad Road belt.
- The Mumbai Pivot: Recently, they have expanded into premium redevelopment projects in Chembur (Raunak Centrum) and Sion, moving away from their purely suburban roots.

📈 Business Reputation & 2026 Trends
